Lighting Design in Mercer Island: what's different here
The island's mix of older lakefront homes and large remodels means panels range from original 100-amp service to newer 400-amp service. Older Mercer Island homes usually have one ceiling fixture per room. We add LED recessed lighting, dimmers and under-cabinet lights with as few drywall openings as possible.
Permits and inspections
New circuits and recessed lighting are permitted electrical work; a like-for-like fixture swap usually is not. Mercer Island runs its own electrical permit and inspection program, so permits for this work go through the City of Mercer Island rather than Washington L&I (L&I list of cities). We pull the permit and meet the inspector.
Utilities
Electric service in Mercer Island is provided by PSE. For panel, meter and service work we schedule the disconnect and reconnect with the utility for you.
